This is perhaps the best Vitamix. It has variable speed settings, pulse mixing options and includes an automatic mixing program. You can set it up to make smoothies while you’re away and be sure you’ll have a delicious drink when you return.
If you’re looking for a cheaper entry into the world of Vitamix, look no further than One. It’s very easy with a simple watch face. It doesn’t have any of the bells and whistles of the larger Vitamix but is more powerful than most cheap blenders on the market.
This blender is a larger (albeit smaller) upgrade to the 750 with a touch screen and wireless capability. You can put more containers on it and the base will automatically detect their size and adjust accordingly.
Some gadgets make a name for themselves, and the Instant Pot Pro Plus certainly does just that. It can pressure cook, slow cook, rice cook and more in one convenient device. There’s also the Instant Pot Pro – a slight downgrade from our top pick – a little cheaper.
If your passion is sustainable living and you live where it’s not the best place, this food circulator might be just right for you. It turns kitchen waste that would otherwise end up in the trash into soil-friendly nutrients that can be used to grow new plants.
We haven’t tested this particular model, but the Braun MultiQuick 7 hand blender (8/10, recommends WIRED) impressed us with its easy-to-clean design and blending capabilities. As we noted in our review, MQ5 may be right for you.
Sous vide appliances allow you to cook with the utmost precision, and Anova’s Precision Cooker Nano is one of our favorites, especially for beginners. It connects to the phone via Bluetooth, has a display and is made of high quality heat-resistant plastic.
What goes well with Vitamix? KitchenAid Stand Mixer. This one is slightly smaller than the 5 liter model we usually recommend. It’s also slightly cheaper. So if you like the KitchenAid Stand Mixer but don’t need that loud sound, this is a great choice.
You will never realize how much time you spend chopping and slicing ingredients during cooking until you let the food processor do it for you. This 13-cup model from KitchenAid has enough room for everything you need to cut.
If the KitchenAid food processor is a bit pricey for your taste, this Hamilton Beach model makes it easy to get into the world of the food industry. Product reviewer Medea Giordano has been using this model for three years and it’s reliable, which is impressive for such an inexpensive processor.
If you need coffee every day but don’t want a useless disposable cup system, this Braun MultiServe coffee maker offers almost the same convenience with less waste. It can be made as a single serving or as a whole jar, and offers plenty of options to make your blend perfect.
We haven’t tried this model yet, but we are fans of the De’Longhi Stilosa espresso machine. This similar model from the same company is just as well received as its brother. Make espresso, cappuccino, latte – whatever you want – and even froth your own milk.
We haven’t tested this French press yet, but Fellow makes some of our favorite coffee and tea sets, so we can say with no hesitation that this would be a good cup of coffee. Fellow has some of the best and most durable water bottles and beer jugs on the market.
The main task of an electric kettle is to boil water. You don’t have to spend a fortune just to boil water. That’s why the Cosori glass electric kettle is the favorite electric kettle of most people. This deal isn’t great, but it’s an opportunity to save a few bucks on a dependable water bottle.
If, like me, you’re addicted to carbonated drinks (which is a problem), SodaStream could be a way to save money in the long run. It lets you infuse regular water with carbon dioxide to make sparkling water, and you can even add flavorings to make sugary water itch without spending as much money for the perk.
Whether you’re packing food for sous-vide cooking or just want to keep it as long as possible, a vacuum sealer is a handy tool to take on the go.
Atlas Coffee Club, one of our favorite coffee subscription services, is now available on Amazon for 20% off. Every month you will receive coffee beans of the same origin from another country, as well as postcards and tasting notes.
An ice maker doesn’t catch your eye every day, but this model from GE stands out. It makes brittle ice cubes that are more drinkable than regular freezer ice. It produces up to 24 pounds of ice a day – you’ll be the life of the party in no time.
There is nothing more important in your kitchen than good cookware. This set includes a 10″ skillet, 3 quart pan, 3 quart skillet and 8 quart pot, all made from durable stainless steel. If that’s too expensive for you, All-Clad also has non-stick kits on sale.
These mixing bowls from Cuisinart make a great addition when you get all the stainless steel you need for your kitchen. This set of 3 bowls comes with their own lids so you can use them to knead cookie dough and save it for later instead of making cookies.
A good Dutch oven is priceless, especially if you’re trying to survive in a small kitchen. This enamel block from Lodge is one of our favorites. It’s great for everything from simmered stews to baked cornbread and everything in between.
If you have Pyrex containers in your home, it’s hard to live without them. These glass containers can be used in the oven or microwave, but they also have resealable plastic lids. So you can cook meals in it and store leftovers in the same dish for later.
When it comes to streaming devices, nothing beats our best solutions. This Roku joystick is cheap, plugs directly into your TV, and is fast enough to handle all the 4K content you can upload to it. Roku is also platform agnostic, so you’ll find most of the major streaming services on it.
If you need smart lighting on a budget, the Wyze Smart Bulb is our favorite. At $11 each, these colorful bulbs sound like a lot for a light bulb, but for smart lights that can be controlled with your voice (via a smart assistant), they’re a steal.
These are some of our favorite smart plugs that can make just about any gadget smarter. They pair with Alexa and Google Assistant so you can turn devices on and off with your voice, set a schedule, or even control them right from your phone.
Decor in RGB Nanoleaf form is very flexible if you want to spice up a room (you like it when your decor shines). The base kit comes with plain RGB hexagons, but if you want a more traditional look, the Wood Look kit also sells for $200.
This pet camera serves as another way to keep your cat entertained when you’re not at home. It features a 160-degree camera for an expansive view of the entire room, two-way audio so you can not only hear what your pets are doing but also tell them to get off the furniture, and a laser toy that you can remote control or customize. as a pre-programmed procedure. If the Play 2 is too expensive for you, the Petcube Cam offers lasers and a few other bells and whistles for a lot less money.
This handy cat toy can do it all. It’s a scratching post, a spring-loaded flexible cat toy (filled with catnip) and a self-grooming bow that cats love. Product reviewer Medea Giordano’s cat is obsessed with the toy, and it’s not hard to see why.
When we tested it, we liked the pet owner’s Eufy 2K panoramic camera. It scans the room, which makes it perfect for watching pets while you’re away. The updated Eufy Pet Camera D605 (September 10, WIRED recommended) comes with everything we love about other models, and can also give out a treat sometimes.
This is an updated version of the Furbo in our guide to the best pet cameras. The new version falters, but it retains the ability to throw treats, two-way audio, and other features we loved in the previous version.
In the past, you had to outsource your home security system to an independent company, but today you can deploy it yourself. One of our favorites is the SimpliSafe system (9/10, WIRED recommends), which includes motion sensors, door sensors, and keypads (although we don’t like its security cameras).
If you’re a Prime member and haven’t purchased a gift card in the last 12 months, you can get a $10 Amazon voucher as part of this deal. Enter code NEWGC2022 at checkout to apply this offer.
This is our top pick for laptop stands, and no matter how many other laptop stands we’ve tried, we’ll continue to use this one. It is lightweight yet strong enough to hold your laptop at any height without falling. This is the best price we have ever seen and there has never been a better time to get our hands on it.
For those of you who like to work on the couch or in bed from time to time, this laptop stand from Nnewvante is one of our favorites.

Nanoleaf ornaments come in many shapes, not just hexagons. The Mini Triangles sets are perfect for other large panels, or they can be used individually. The company is also currently selling expansion packs for regular sized triangles. Combine hexagons and triangles in a variety of sizes and you can get creative.
Finally, Nanoleaf offers a range of modular lighting fixtures that you can customize to fit any design. Tired of men telling you how many sides your uniform should have? The good news is that with this kit you can place as many faces on your geometry as you like.
It’s not our top pick for a robot vacuum, but the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ has some of the best navigation features of any vacuum cleaner we’ve tested. He even managed not to disturb a large sleeping dog, which is an outstanding achievement. If you have a lot of difficult places in your house, this robot vacuum cleaner can be one of the best for you.
It’s our top pick in our guide to the best robot vacuum cleaners, and it looks even better for the price. It has the performance of a high-end robot at a mid-range price. It can store multiple floors of a map so you can easily go up and down stairs, and it has a handy self-cleaning trash can that you can control with Siri voice commands.
Roomba j7+ is one of our best robot vacuums. It has great navigation tools, automatic base station cleaning, and even extra storage for tools and extra bags so you always know where they are.
Robotic vacuum cleaners can be expensive, but this is one of our favorites on a budget. It doesn’t have the bells and whistles of a self-cleaning trash can found in more expensive models, but it can still do the basic job of a botwak without breaking the bank.
The S7+ is too expensive to buy without a discount, so if you’ve been thinking about it, this is your chance. It maps your home with sound waves, automatically raises the mop when it detects carpet, and uses multi-directional brushes for better debris removal. This model has also added a wet mopping feature that allows you to intelligently avoid wet mopping of carpets.
Robotic vacuum cleaners can struggle when you have pets, but this one from Eufy does the job better than most. Its suction power is twice that of most other vacuums we’ve tested, which is great for picking up all pet hair, especially indoors.

Our top pick for straighteners, this model from Paul Mitchell has earned its place. It has 1-inch plates and product reviewer Medea Giordano thinks it does a great job with a variety of hair textures and curl patterns.
It’s hard to find a good robot vacuum cleaner on a budget, but Yeedi is our top pick in the budget category. This equally inexpensive model can map out your floor plan, set a custom cleaning schedule, and even mop and mop hardwood floors at the same time.
If you need to iron out creases in your clothes on the go, check out this handy little steamer. It is small, fits easily in a suitcase and heats up quickly. If you need to make shirts look presentable quickly, especially if you don’t have the right ironing equipment, this is a great tool.
Our favorite set of electric toothbrushes, the Colgate Hum (9/10, WIRED recommends), collects data for its smart features without opening the app, has a tongue brush on the back, and is generally reasonably priced for an electric toothbrush. This sale is even better. There is also a cheaper version with an AAA battery on sale now.
